imos iX 2025 SR2, the new and latest release from imos AG, has been launched worldwide with a series of advanced upgrades designed to improve digital furniture manufacturing, woodworking workflows and interior production processes. The latest version introduces enhanced CAD capabilities, improved production tracking through iX Scout, advanced online planning features, AI-powered rendering and smarter support tools, helping furniture manufacturers, cabinetmakers and interior specialists create, manage and produce customised solutions more efficiently.
The new imos iX 2025 SR2 release strengthens the connection between design, sales, manufacturing and assembly by creating a more integrated digital workflow. Built for modern woodworking businesses, the latest software update focuses on improving speed, accuracy and collaboration across the entire furniture production chain.
Customers holding an active maintenance contract or subscription can download the release without an additional software charge through the iX Support Center. imos positions SR2 as an update designed to improve communication and transactions between different business units, strengthening collaboration across the furniture value chain.
Faster CAD Tools for Repeatable Interior Projects
The iX CAD additions address everyday production planning tasks rather than concentrating only on visual presentation. A new mirror function allows complete furniture ensembles to be reversed and adjusted with one command. This can reduce repetitive work in hotels, offices, residential developments and other projects where similar layouts are required in opposite orientations.
Dimensioned section drawings are another practical addition. They create clearer information for planning, manufacturing and installation teams, helping each department work from consistent dimensional data. SR2 also allows narrow or small parts to be grouped into a larger component, a function that can simplify the handling of difficult workpieces during preparation and production.
These tools build on iX CAD’s existing integrated workflow, which covers furniture design, drawing output, bills of material and production documentation. The software can automatically update drawings, component lists and CNC information when design data changes, helping reduce inconsistencies between engineering and production.
Greater Visibility on the Factory Floor
Production transparency receives a substantial boost through iX Scout. Workstations can now report component progress through barcode scanning, allowing processing status to remain traceable as parts move across the factory. Operators can use three-dimensional queries to identify components and check their position within an assembly.
The release also improves nesting label management. Where automated labelling is unavailable, users can assign labels visually to the corresponding component inside the graphical nest. A redesigned interface makes dimension and distance checks in the 3D view more intuitive.
For manufacturers, these changes support the wider imos approach of linking design data directly with production. iX CAM can generate CNC programs for common machine brands, while barcode labels provide unique part identification. The system also supports specialised strategies for solid wood machining, edge processing, five-axis equipment and nesting cells.
This connected workflow extends beyond the shop floor. The iX Integration Server can link order and manufacturing processes with ERP, MES and sales systems, while also connecting external cloud services. Its open architecture supports process monitoring and data transfer through formats including SQL, XML and CSV.
Online Planning Becomes More Immersive
iX NET gains floor-plan imports, enabling users to build 3D room geometry from their own drawings and start interior planning more quickly. Individual products can also be grouped into reusable planning blocks and stored as favourites. That can improve consistency for retailers and manufacturers working with frequently repeated furniture combinations.
The release introduces 360-degree rendering through conventional rendering technology. These panoramic views can be shared with prospective buyers through a link, giving customers a more complete understanding of the planned room.
This sits alongside iX Render AI, which can generate realistic room images from iX CAD, iX PLAN or iX NET. It interprets materials, lighting and perspective, adds decorative elements and accepts natural-language instructions for changing colours, finishes or lighting moods.
AI Support Moves into Daily Service
The updated iX Support Center introduces an AI-driven assistant intended to provide real-time help around the clock. It supports widely used languages and draws on a continuously maintained knowledge base. The system can handle routine operating questions and assist with error analysis, although imos advises users to review automatically generated responses, particularly for complex cases.
An iX Credits model also gives users access to digital services, including iX Render AI, through a usage-based system. A dashboard shows available credits and connects users with the purchasing environment. This approach may help companies control their use of cloud-based visualisation services according to project demand.
A Stronger Digital Thread for Woodworking Businesses
The release shows how IMOS iX 2025 SR2 accelerates digital furniture manufacturing through faster CAD, smarter parts tracking and AI-powered support. For woodworking companies, its importance lies in operational detail: fewer repetitive design steps, clearer production information, improved part traceability and richer customer presentations.
As manufacturers balance customisation with shorter delivery times, SR2 strengthens the digital thread between the designer’s screen, the CNC machine, the assembly area and the customer. Its combination of furniture CAD software, CNC production connectivity, iX Scout tracking, iX NET planning and AI rendering reflects the industry’s continued shift towards integrated, data-driven manufacturing.
